Want to add some flare above fireplace
+5
I would like to add shiplap and make the above fireplace area stand out. I will still have the tv above it.
I think that sounds like a beautiful idea. Here is a link to several Hometalker's who have done shiplap work. Maybe something here will inspire you and you can ask them questions you may have as well. http://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=shiplap - good luck
maybe some wide white decorative moulding.
I would use the smaller wall if it can be a focal point. I think that ship lap is "in" thing that will go out of favor soon and will create a mess when taken down.
I think the shiplap will create a lovely focal point above the fireplace. My thought would to ne to run it the full length of the wall rather than adding it just above the fireplace.
Add width to your fireplace ship lap or moulding as opposed to taller and it will look more scaled to wall.
The entire wall, horizontally with shiplap .
Yes you need that extra touch to complete that lovely wall and I would keep it white because of the dark wall, here's a picture to complete that look😎
